The legendary Enid Bakewell MBE is one of the greats in the world of cricket. A dedicated all-rounder across ODI and Test formats, Enid scored over 1500 runs and took 75 wickets. There is no doubt Enid is a phenomenal cricketer who laid the foundations for generations to come. Playing in the inaugural World Cup in 1973, Enid raised her ton to help England take the crown over Australia. A true history maker, trailblazer and icon of cricket in England.

A true living legend and at 80 years young Enid is looking forward to padding up for her local side this summer! We hope you enjoy this first of two episodes chatting to Enid about all things cricket. 

Remember to hashtag #EnidBakewell across social media so we can light up International Women's Day with stories and photos of the pioneer!

p.s. We also apologise for the sound quality and rustling noises in part 1 of Enid's episode. It's pretty impressive that an 80-year-old can 'zoom', so naturally there are a few technical difficulties. Part 2 is much clearer.
